Think performance.Now think rock star performance.

At Ascend, we are global specialists in the field of performance. We create stronger teams and resilient, inspirational leaders who are equipped to become the guardians of their organisations culture, enabling them to have a transformative impact on commercial success. Designed for people, backed up by behavioural science.

We believe in the power of people

We fundamentally believe that by working with the key influencers in a business, we can have the biggest impact. We work with people who are at a pivotal point in their career. It's our role to support them on the journey to become catalysts for cultural change.

What if...?

What if your people could learn to think, act and communicate in a way that inspires action and motivates their colleagues? Our role is to challenge status quo, gently but firmly posing thought provoking questions that offer a different perspective and lead people to a fresh, practical solution. We think outside the box, enabling you to work outside the box.

Not made to be normal

Clients choose us because we are boldly different and entirely collaborative. We design high impact, fully tailored experiential, interactive and unexpected programmes that engage, inspire and challenge convention. We work closely with you in a hands-on capacity to create lasting, sustainable shifts in behaviour.

Think outside the box, work outside the box...
